I absolutely love Traci Hunter Abramson. I have been a fan of the Saint Squad since Freefall came out. I love the characters and the personalities THA has created. The suspense and angst she is able to convey when Sienna is waiting from word about Craig and the team is palatable. I will continue to pick up every book Abramson writes!
Brilliant. Interweaving Craig and Sienna's story with the Presidential election kept the pace moving while still being easy to track between characters/situations.
It was nice to see all the Saint Squad wives together and get an idea of how they interact. I also loved having a brief glimpse into Marilyn and Kel's marriage and how much better they are doing now!
I would have loved to see more interactions with the next generation. The guys on the squad arguing over who gets to hold the baby was mentioned, but we didn't really see them interact with their kids, let alone with each other's.
A great addition to the Saint Squad series, though definitely assumes knowledge of characters from previous books (the photographer was a nice touch).
If only there was an actual Presidential candidate like Jim Whitmore.
In this episode of the Saint Squad, tensions are high, Would it be the Saint Squad if they weren't?
Craig and Sienna are the best couple who cannot officially be a couple. He works where it is important to keep his identity secret and she is a Hollywood starlet.
There is great tension in place due to their situation but even more is the implications of his positions, Add onto all of this the final days of the Whitmore campaign and this story is a culmination of many things including the Whitmore story that has been running through this whole series.
I found myself turning every page and trying to see how it will all work out,
This is one of those sleep stealers and was totally satisfying in its resolution. There is a twist or two I didn't see coming which is proof of the excellence of this story.
I received an early copy through Netgalley and then ran to my local amazon to purchase it for myself,
Get ready for an awesome roller coaster ride!
Abramson will leave you on the edge of your seat biting your nails.
I definitely loved the little surprises along the way too. And secrets!
They are what made me keep turning the pages of this book.
I love the many twists and turns that kept coming! It's what made the story exciting!
Abramson has done very well with this book. She has made me feel like I was in the story right along with the characters.
I loved Sienna and Craig! I thought they made a great team!
The cover of this book told everything about what was going on in the book. No self explanation needed! I loved it!
However; I didn't know that this is the 12th book in this series. But, you can still read it as a stand alone. I really do highly recommend that you read the other books first. I wished I did so I'll g9 back and do that.
5 stars for a well written book. I highly recommend
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.
I enjoyed this next book in the Saint Squad series. I thought the story was well written and I loved how everyone was trying to help Sierra and Craig to not only keep their wedding a secret but even to help them have it. I thought this story had all the wonderful elements that we love from the other books and I love the characters and how they care about each other as if they are family. I wonderful addition to this beloved series.
I received a complimentary book from publishers, publicists, and or authors. A review was not required and all opinions and ideas expressed are my own.
The Saint Squad is back! They are some of my very favorite characters - the kind that you can't help but wish were real. This latest installment didn't disappoint, and I was happy to see that Jay wasn't the only one up in a tree this time. The reader not only gets to know Sienna and Craig better, but we also get a front row seat to the pre-election activities with Senator Whitmore and his wife.
Definitely a story worth reading.
Traci writes detail oriented and emotionally driven characters that you love coming back to.
She creates with her setting the kind of America you wished you lived in, and you want to root for.
She’s really good at red herrings, I love the way she writes suspense.
Though the pace of this one seemed slower than some of her others, it was steady and still kept me on my toes. I was continually interested and intrigued without ever being overwhelmed.
Another amazing installment of the Saint Squad series! The writing is engaging and the plot fast paced. It was exciting to watch Senator Whitmore on the presidential campaign trail.
I can’t get enough of this series and this set of characters.
Traci has yet again done a wonderful job. The action, suspense, and sweet romance was top notch. I read it in under two days and am debating about starting the whole series over again just to get back to it.
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for sending me a copy. All opinions expressed are my own.
All Sienna Blake wants is to get married. You think that after two unsuccessful tries, the third one would be a charm. Well not so much for Sienna. When Sienna’s marriage to Navy Seal, Craig Simmons, gets delayed a third time, her day goes from bad to worse when she gets the call that Craig has gone missing on a mission. Left wondering if she’ll ever see Craig again and be able to get married, Sienna starts to think she may not be fit to be the wife of a Navy Seal.
Craig Simmons has two missions. The first, help his Navy Seal team with a potential terrorist threat. Second, get home to his fiance, Sienna. Not going missing in action was not part of the plan. When he and his team finally get back home, they find that the threat they have been fighting is closer than they realized. Not wanting to lose Sienna but wanting to keep his country safe, Craig, with the help of his team, plan a wedding and help America elect a new president.
I loved that “Covert Ops” gave us the rest of Craig and Sienna’s story and Senator Whitmore’s election story. Getting to read about past characters and see what they are up to is my favorite . @traciabramson does a great job at weaving her characters’ storylines together. Having Craig, Sienna and Senator Whitmore’s stories mesh together added to the fun and suspense of this book in the perfect way.
It’s always great to visit with the Saint Squad and this new adventure was just as fun as the rest. I love the found family of the Saint Squad. The support they give each other and their families is the best. I also enjoy all the inside jokes, we as readers get to have with them. Jay up a tree, anyone?
“Covert Ops” was another great addition to the Saint Squad series. Filled with all the things I love about her books, “Covert Ops” is the perfect read for anyone who loves thrilling suspense, romance, found family and adventure.
Thank you to Traci and Covenant Communication for the advanced e-arc. All opinions are my own.
I loved reading Covert Ops. I enjoyed seeing other characters from the series come together to help. Such a great addition to the Saint Squad series. I loved reading more of Sienna and Craig's story. Traci Hunter Abramson never disappoints.
Another great Saint Squad book. The mystery of whether Craig snd Sienna would get married or if Jim Whitmore would win the presidential election had me on the edge of my seat the whole book. I loved the underlying message of having faith and not giving up. I highly recommend this book.
Suspense, espionage, covert ops, Navy SEALs, sweet romance, famous actress, delayed wedding, and run for the presidency of the United States. This book has a little bit of everything. Tracy Hunter Abramson, knows how to write intriguing, page turning, great books. The Saints squad series, continues with the impending marriage of Sienna and Craig. Will they ever get their happily ever after? And what about Senator Jim Whitmore, will he become president of United States? I thoroughly enjoyed this, book 12, of the series. I have not yet read all of the books in the series, but I did not feel lost, or like I was missing out on anything pertaining to the other characters from other stories. That said, I am more intrigued to read each of the other stories, to discover their individual stories. I read this in a afternoon and could not put it down. There is plenty of drama, political strife, military action, and sweet romance. Nothing is to overly violent, no offensive language, and the romance is sweet kisses and hugs.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
Covert Ops delivers! The Saint Squad series is always fun to read. I enjoy seeing characters from other stories crossover into these stories. It's part of the fun seeing how many of them will make an appearance. Just enough humor mixed in with the suspense and action. You'll be cheering Whitmore for President!
Traci hunter Abramson has done it again! She continually amazes me with her ability to pull you into a story and makes you feel like you are a part of it. I loved reading about Sienna’s and Craig’s story as well as the side story of Severity Whitmore.
I saw another edition of the Saint Squad and just had to read it as I’ve read the series. This one is a little different as Craig, who is a Navy Seal is trying to get home from a mission and marry his fiancé Sienna. A lot of different storylines happening all at once, but it’s a nice enjoyable read. No intimate scenes or graphic violence. A clean read I’d say. I’d certainly recommend. I received an ARC copy.
Are you ready for more Saint Squad???? I am!!! This book was such a fun ride and I didn't want it to end! I'm always pulled in from page one when reading Traci Hunter Abramson's books. I loved diving back in with this group of Navy SEALs. They're just a great big family. It's so fun to have them all showing up throughout the book and seeing their friendships and commitment to helping each other and protecting people.
Their mission this time is to get Craig safely home for his wedding to Sienna. But of course, it doesn't ever go easy for these guys. Thankfully they're great at navigating hard situations, national security issues, and helping friends get married. But poor Sienna is going to have to dig deep to decide if Craig's work and constant safety risk is what she's going to sign up for forever.
I loved seeing Sienna and Craig's continuing to work on strengthening and developing their relationship and love for each other. There are some hard moments but I loved seeing them decide what was important and their commitment to each other. You're going to love it all.
Bonus, you get to see Jay up a tree!!! ;-) If you know, you know! Hahahaha!!!
Content: Clean. Some moments of peril and suspense. Some fighting and use of guns but nothing overly graphic. Some kisses but nothing further. Clean language.
I received a copy from the publisher, Covenant Communications, via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions in the review are my own.
Happy Reading!!!
This book made me laugh and cry! I didn’t want it to end! There was just enough suspense to get my heart racing but not so much I was in a panic. There’s no waiting around in this book. It’s fast paced and action packed. I loved it beginning to end!
I love how the Saint Squad family just keeps growing. We get littles bits of everyone in each story. I love how they’re all connected. This story focuses mostly on Craig and Sienna. After several fail attempts for a wedding emotions are running high and it feels like time is running out. At the same time Jim Whitmore is in the final trenches of his presidential campaign and that isn’t without its own troubles. Because of how well the whole series is tied together it all feels personal. We’ve been on these journeys with them and experienced the joys and heartaches. There’s always a little bit of fear that this is the end or our beloved characters won’t get their happily ever after. This story didn’t disappoint on any of the fronts and I can’t wait to read it again!
The Saint Squad series continues with this latest installment! So much happens in this one. Crossing my fingers there is more to come in this series!
*note - this book can be read as a stand alone but would be best enjoyed when read in order
I received an ARC through Netgalley and all opinions are my own.
Covert Ops is a home run! I love Traci Abrahamson’s books. She keeps you reading from page one and this book is no different .
I loved reading a continuation of Sierra and Craig’s story .and what lengths Craig and his squad and friends go to for love. I must admit there is a lot of talk about food in this book and it made me hungry and excited to try some recipes from Tracis new cook book.
I loved reading about Jim and Katherine’s commitment to God, integrity , family , friends, and country. The book had great intell and intrigue laced throughout the book . This book is a must read !
